Orbiter Fresnel Lens

The Orbiter Fresnel Lens creates a precise light spot with a soft single shadow, and it delivers true Fresnel output with a real Gaussian field of light. The light output of Orbiter with the Fresnel lens is comparable to the ARRI L-Series L10 and True Blue ST2/3 with 2000 W Tungsten bulb.

The Fresnel lighting character works best with a large aperture and a wide zoom range. Despite its large aperture, the Orbiter Fresnel lens housing is compact (approx. 340 mm x 380 mm x 370 mm / 13.4 in x 15 in x 14.6 in) and lightweight (~ 4.5 kg / 9.5 lbs). Its lens diameter of 285 mm / 11.2 in equals that of the True Blue ST2/3 andT5. The large zoom range of 15 to 65 degrees is fully motorized and can be precisely positioned while being controlled locally via Orbiter’s ControlPanel or remotely byDMX/RDM or IP based (ArtNet or sACN). The Orbiter Fresnel lens will be available in black. The Fresnel lens does not have any additional cooling fan, so there is no additional noise to be expected when in operation. However, the zoom motors are by nature not entrirely quiet when traveling.

Application possibilities
Combined with Orbiter’s ARRI Spectra light engine, the high-end optical system is perfectly suited for cinematic application, broadcast studios, as well as theaters or live productions. The Orbiter Fresnel lens is a great addition to the already existing Orbiter OpenFace Optics 15°,30°, and 60°.
